Dear ones, you do not need to spend your life feeling bad, guilty, less than, sick at heart, depressed…

I, Grandmother Cottonwood can feel your vibrations as you walk past. I feel the dancing, lively, fun, sweet energy of those who feel good, and the heavy muddy, swampy energy of those that feel bad.

My dears, with patience, practice, perseverance, and self compassion you may shift your daily emotional tone to one that lifts you up out of the muddy feelings, gives you hope and clarity, allows you to know your inner strength.

This is your true nature. You no longer need to hold yourself back, keep yourself repressed, dim your light to make others feel better, to fit in with the family or group of friends. Take heart, loved ones, for you and only you are in charge of the emotional climate of your life.

Take easy steps, stay with it, notice and replace thoughts that hurt with something that feels a little better, make this a habit, then replace that with a new more uplifting thought. Take the time you need.

Make these new thoughts a habit. As you do this, your vibrations will rise. Toxins will be released from body, mind and spirit. You will feel better in all ways, and you will see a shift in the world around you.

Make feeling good your highest priority and you will bless yourself and this world.
